WAZ said on Monday that Allofs was among the officials who had travelled to Madrid to talk to Morata.

It claimed Wolfsburg had a good chance of signing Morata because Los Blancos would prefer to sell him to them and quoted Allofs as saying: "The players we have contacted have all not categorically ruled out joining Wolfsburg."

WAZ said those other potential candidates included Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku and Mexico international Raul Jimenez.

"We are now taking things to a new level. We try to present the club to our candidates so that they say yes," Allofs said.

"That's sometimes a difficult task, given the competition from clubs like Juventus, Arsenal or Dortmund."

While Juventus have also been linked with Morata, Allofs was referring to the 2012-13 transfers of Luiz Gustavo and Kevin de Bruyne.

Wolfsburg beat Arsenal to the signing of the Brazil international, while the Belgium midfielder was also linked with a move to Germany.
